Equipment being returned must be clean and free of blood and other infectious substances.
GEMS policy states that body fluids must be properly removed from any part or equipment prior to
shipment. GEMS employees, as well as customers, are responsible for ensuring that parts/equipment
have been properly decontaminated prior to shipment. Under no circumstance should a part or
equipment with visible body fluids be taken or shipped from a clinic or site (for example, body coils or
an ultrasound probe).
The purpose of the regulation is to protect employees in the transportation industry, as well as the
people who will receive or open this package.
NOTE: The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has ruled that "items that were saturated and/or
dripping with human blood that are now caked with dried blood; or which were used or intended
for use in patient care" are "regulated medical waste" for transportation purposes and must be
transported as a hazardous material.
NOTE: The USER/SERVICE staff should dispose all the waste properly as per federal, state, and local
